Suppose that in plants, smooth seeds (S) are dominant to wrinkle seeds (s) and tall plants (T) are dominant to short plants (t).

A tall plant with smooth seeds was backcrossed to a parent that was short and wrinkle. What proportion of the progeny is expected to be heterozygous for tall and smooth?

Answer:

1/4

Explanation:

According to the given information, the dominant plant is back-crossed with a homozygous recessive parent. Therefore, the dominant plant is heterozygous for both genes.  

The genotype of the tall plant with smooth seeds would be = TtSs

And the genotype of the dwarf parent with wrinkled seeds = ttss

A cross between TtSs x ttss gives heterozygous tall plants with smooth seeds (TtSs) in 1/4 ratio.

What does the term "complementary" mean in base-pairing?
belka [17]

Answer:

From The School of Biomedical Sciences Wiki. Complementary base pairing is the phenomenon where in DNA guanine always hydrogen bonds to cytosine and adenine always binds to thymine. The bond between guanine and cytosine shares three hydrogen bonds compared to the A-T bond which always shares two hydrogen bonds.

1. Biogeography, the study of the geographic distribution of plants, animals, and other forms of life. It is concerned not only with habitation patterns but also with the factors responsible for variations in distribution.

2. weathering and other natural forces break down the substrate, rock, enough for the establishment of certain hearty plants and lichens with few soil requirements, known as pioneer species. These species help to further break down the mineral-rich lava into soil where other, less hardy species can grow and eventually replace the pioneer species. In addition, as these early species grow and die, they add to an ever-growing layer of decomposing organic material and contribute to soil formation. This process repeats multiple times during succession. At each stage, new species move into an area, often due to changes to the environment made by the preceding species, and may replace their predecessors. At some point, the community may reach a relatively stable state and stop changing in composition. However, it's unclear if there is always—or even usually—a stable endpoint to succession.

3. I don’t have the video so I’m going to take. Wild guess. Just look up types of finches

4. Broadly speaking, different species are unable to interbreed and produce healthy, fertile offspring due to barriers called mechanisms of reproductive isolation.
These barriers can be split into two categories based on when they act: prezygotic and postzygotic.
